CooWild (version 1.10 build 001)
CooWild is a live menu system(java applet)
where waterfowl fly over rivers, lakes, oceans...
under sunset...in Spring...Winter...
Each fly object represents one or more web objects (pages).
Demo of Coowild in different styles:
Features include:
- each object represent links with tooltips description. The correspending
URL is opened when clicked.
- Description about links can be popped up as tooltips periodically or when mouse
cursor is moved on the object.
- Object and background images can be replaced with your own images.
Note: CooWild requires a JDK1.1 environment.
IE (4.x) is the best browser to use CooWild as an applet or a JavaBean in an applet.
A regular Netscape 4.x doesn't provide a complete JDK1.1 environment
unless you upgrated it. To upgrate Netscape, go

Be sure you download the one supporting JDK1.1.5.
